The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

ginvzt

I bought mine on amazon for £65. I have to say, I like having it and having the assurance of knowing what is happening. It is first month only, so will see how it goes.

But this morning I got my first peak!!!! I am on CD15... So, I already used 10 sticks this cycle. Keep an eye on amazon, as i have seen it there for less than £60, I think around £55 - but then decided to wait one more month and the price went up to £65. You never knwo - you might get lucky!

Hiya. I was put on Metformin 1st - supposed to be for 6 months but I stopped after 2.5 months as I couldn't cope with the side-effects, and then went on to Clomid for 6 months. My PCOS is quite mild I'm told, my periods were slightly erratic but not too bad, but I do have the extra weight to contend with. I was advised to try the GI diet, partly for weight, but mostly because it can help with the PCOS. Didn't particularly work for me, but a couple of girls at my clinic had good results with it and both got PG, so it must work for some!
Wishing you lots of luck on your TTC journey!

Thank u FE, i have heard side effects on metformin are worse for some, guess il just have to wait to see what they decide to try first!

I rang the clinic yesterday and managed to get a cancellation for 2 weeks earlier than original app, so middle of oct now, still feels like years away :mad:

I was thinkin of gettin a cbfm but was advised to wait until i hope to get a noraml ish cycle length, last one was somethin like 135 days :eek: so the monitor would be totally confused with that....
When i get on some treatment think i would get one! Saying that ff reckons im 7DPO and im only on CD29 so u never know maybe the agnus castus is workin and im in for a normal cycle without any treatment!
Now that would be fab :j

Well, I think Clomid 'is working'... I think I am ovulating today or what, I am in so much pain - I can't describe it, but it is there, where the ovaries should be. On both sides, although occasionally gets worse on one or the other. I went for yoga last night (only 3rd time), and we were told not to do some exercises if it is the time of the month, or ttc, but I still tried doing them (not that it hurt me or anything then), but I hope I haven't done myself a mischief...

Fingers crossed the clomid is workin ginvzt and u havent pulled somethin at yoga...

Still have an hour at least to stay at work, and the pain is getting worse. I am planning to go and have a look at pianos tonight, so I hope I can move by the end of the day! (I wanted one for a very long time, and with my 30th on the way, it is time to live for myself a bit. Fingers crossed it will be as good as I hope it is and I can start learning this weekend!)

Oct 23rd - one month and one day before you. I really don't care about it. I was just hoping I will have a child before I am 30. I know this is not going to happen now!
